[PD] [pix_image] available image format on linux?

[Claude Heiland-Allen]

You have to restart Pd for GEM to notice the new plugins.  If you did 
that already, maybe there is a conflict between self-compiled Pd GEM and 
system-installed Pd GEM?  Please send more information:

$ which pd                                     # should be /usr/bin/pd
$ pd -stderr -verbose your-patch.pd 2>log.txt  # attach log.txt to mail
